keep in mind their crazy range of influences -- a lot of ambient/experimental/progressive stuff. i never really saw it as an attempt to trip you out but sometimes they push the ambient side of things too far.

Deloused is my favorite by them too though
treefingers Reviewed by treefingers on . The Mars Volta I sure hope that anyone on here that is into music has at least checked out this band. They are some of the most talented musicians in a long time, and many including myself compare the guitarist to hendrix. if you are into some good rock check them out. very trippy. thier first cd deals with a druggie shooting up and going into a coma where has horrific visions for the next 7 songs, till he wakes up and is so scarred from his dreams that he commits suicide. yah. trippy stuff.
